1913 CE–1979 CE · Modern · Petach Tikvah
Shmuel Rozovsky (1913-1979) was a Lithuanian-tradition Talmudist known for his method of analytical study. He was born in Grodno, where his father, Michel Dovid Rozovsky, served as a communal rabbi, and he received his early training at the local Sha'ar HaTorah yeshiva, studying under Shimon Shkop and Yisroel Zev Gustman. In 1935 he moved to Mandatory Palestine, continuing his studies at the Lomza yeshiva in Petach Tikvah; he later married a daughter of Tzvi Pesach Frank, a leading rabbinic authority in Jerusalem. In 1944 he was appointed a head of the newly established Ponevezh yeshiva in Bnei Brak, a position he held for the rest of his life and through which he taught generations of students. His shiurim and chiddushim were collected after his death and issued as Zichron Shmuel, Shiurei R' Shmuel, and Chiddushei R' Shmuel.

About Petach Tikvah
Petach Tikvah, a city in central Israel east of Tel Aviv, was the first modern Jewish agricultural settlement in the Land of Israel, founded in 1878 by pioneers from Jerusalem. Reconstituted by First Aliyah immigrants in 1882, it became known as Em HaMoshavot ('Mother of the Settlements') and grew into a major city.
